In this paper, we propose a method to generate newmelodic styles (melodics) in the automatic composition of polyphonic music. In the proposed method, a melodic style is represented as a grammar that consists of rewriting rules, and the rewriting rules are generated by a classifier system, which is a genetics-based machine learning system. In the previous studies of grammatical approaches, the p...

  Bakhtin's dialogism respects differences and appreciates dialogue. Different fields of the humanities are increasingly apprehending dialogism; however, few studies have applied it in the realm of critical discourse analysis. The present study presupposes that a fundamental similarity exists between dialogism and critical discourse analysis in their respect for different human voices to be hea...

Although we have seen a growing interest in participatory strategy-making, there is paucity of knowledge about the role polyphony and how it may be orchestrated. Our longitudinal analysis revealing case shows narrative strategy-making unfolded four temporally overlapping phases: First, top-down effort to lead resulted polyphony, which was nevertheless largely controlled from top. Second, follow...

Given the large number of new musical tracks released each year, automated approaches to plagiarism detection are essential to help us track potential violations of copyright. Most current approaches to plagiarism detection are based on musical similarity measures, which typically ignore the issue of polyphony in music. We present a novel feature space for audio derived from compositional model...

Two locations claimed primacy in their bid for the manuscript’s original provenance, Lincoln and London, owing to the internal evidence of two c...
